Poirot? As in Agatha Chr-stie's Hercule Poirot? Is there a series featuring the character?

What I'm saying is that, if you enjoyed Traffic, but not Syriana, you're not slow or stupid -- you just need to spend more time in the 'Tank!
(Shameless Plug!)
I certainly can't speak for Jay or Fist, but I didn't take it that you were implying we were slow or stupid.
I took it that he thinks there's hope for me! Woo Hoo!

I gotta agree that the movie was very incohesive. I just finished watching the move - in fact, I some parts twice. The only thing that made sense to me was the story behind the succession of the Emir. The Washington lawyer sub-plot confused the hell out of me, and the terrorist in training plot just didn't seem necessary to the big picture.
